History isn't boring. But texts and teachers sometimes are . . .

Hi,

I am a High School senior attending school in Maryland, and I had to do a research project on the effects of one technological advance on society. Well, as you may have guessed, I picked the telephone. I read the extensive history that was on your web site and I just wanted to say that it really helped me out a lot.

I actually became interested in the topic, and instead of considering it as just another boring research project I actually learned new things. The information was very helpful, and I just wanted to thank you for making it so interesting:-) H.W.
